Summer is almost upon us, and it is hard to believe how quickly 2023 is flying by; although, some days can feel like an eternity, with day-to-day challenges and projects that are all too familiar. With this issue of Connect, we hope to provide you with additional tools to confront those community association challenges head-on. This includes a report from attendees of CAI-California Legislative Action Committee’s (CLAC) Advocacy Session held in April, which will help keep you in the loop with the latest and upcoming laws impacting your community.

Thanks to our esteemed volunteer authors, in this issue you will find educational pieces on the intricacies of handling insurance claims, subrogation (what is it?), and the differences between your typical HOA and homeowner policies. You will also see the all-too-familiar topic of neighborto-neighbor disputes and learn how to tackle those with internal dispute resolution and alternative dispute resolution practices. On that topic, a helpful article about the importance and practice of effective communication is also included (which may help keep those disputes from boiling up in the first place).

With this issue of Connect, we hope to continue to bring you content that strengthens your community and fosters the Greater Inland Empire’s growth and success. As always, none of this is possible without our volunteer contributors and you, the dedicated reader and member of our CAI-GRIE family.
